Description

The study's core element is an 11-min video of an eighth-grade introductory geometry lesson from a German high school, containing a whole-class question-answer scene (bottom-up drivers assumed) and an individual seatwork scene (top-down drivers assumed). Five students marked with letters B, E, K, P, T each represented one empirically identified profile (strong, struggling, overestimating, underestimating, uninterested) from a latent profile analysis. Participants watched the video under eye tracking, then assigned each student to one profile and wrote down the indicators they had used, with a second-choice option for possible confusions.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Participants must first be introduced to the student characteristics and the five profiles, and watch a short trailer to become familiar with the lesson and classroom.

Constraints

• Only the strong, struggling, overestimating, and underestimating profiles were identified by latent profile analysis in percentages of 26%, 21%, 12%, and 9%, with a fifth intermediate low-interest group (31%) treated as comparable to the uninterested profile.

Target Learners

• novice and expert (in-service) teachers

Learning Goals

• diagnostic judgment of individual student characteristic profiles from observed engagement

Claims

• Experienced teachers can deduce student engagement profiles from visual observation, while beginning teachers struggle [+W]
• Experienced teachers diagnose underestimating, overestimating, and uninterested student profiles more accurately than novices, with partial eye-tracking support [+W]
